“She needed a hero so she became one.”— Unknown
“Until you heal the wounds of your past, you are going to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex; but eventually it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hand inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past - the memories - and make peace with them.”— Iyanla Yanzant
“Saying ‘yes’ to happiness means learning to say ‘no’ to things that stress you out.”— Unknown
1. What did you really love doing as a child? What did you seem to have a natural talent for?
2. What are you willing to do for free because it brings you satisfaction and fulfillment?
3. What sorts of things absorb your attention, and cause you to lose all sense of time?
4. Do you prefer to work with others, or by yourself?
5. Do you prefer order and structure, or do you prefer freedom, and the chance to be spontaneous?
6. What would you do, and where would you work, if someone told you they would finance your dream? Would you build a business? Travel? Spend it on yourself? Invest it in doing something meaningful for others?
7. If you were asked to picture the ideal life, what would it look like? What would be all the different aspects and components?
1. Waiting and not knowing is a large part of life.
2. Often, what we fear doesn’t happen in the end.
3. We all have our flaws; everyone is on a journey.
4. Expect to get things wrong and to mess things up at times.
5. A good and trusted friend truly is a gift and treasure.
6. Treat yourself and others with kindness and respect.
7. Be patient in your struggles as they teach important lessons.
8. Believe you have the grit to create the life you want.
1. Knowing deep inside that you are good enough.
2. Believing you can do it, and believing you can make it.
3. Choosing to be grateful when you feel like complaining.
4. Choosing to hang in there when you feel you’ve had enough.
5. Knowing each new day is a true gift and fresh beginning.
6. Valuing others, and treating others well.
7. Investing in people instead of chasing things.
1. Getting your self esteem from others.
2. Constantly attacking and putting yourself down.
3. Thinking others are better than you.
4. Expecting things not to turn out well.
5. Living in the past.
6. Fearing the future.
7. Being afraid of, and resisting, change.
1. Stop asking everyone else for permission.
2. Stop seeking to live up to other people’s expectations.
3. Listen to your head, and your feelings, and your heart.
4. Be willing to take risks and to try what interests you.
5. Don’t give up too early – and don’t assume you’ll fail.
6. Give yourself permission to always be yourself, to be genuine with others, and to carve out your own path.
“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.”— Nelson Mandela
Intending to do something isnt enough
✨
If you really want something then commit to it and put the systems in place necessary to create it✅
✨
Intending on creating a healthy lifestyle is bullshit but committing to it is what’s going to help you create it because it involves employing systems to achieve the result systems such as hiring a PT, dialing in your nutrition and meal prepping
✨
Intending on doing stuff is a cheap way of saying “I wish it happens” committing to it is the creator’s way of saying “it will happen” and owning their shit
✨
Intentions are hollow words but commitments are full of actions and systems
✨
Do you have intentions or commitments?

My sadness instigates my growth
✨
I am growing and evolving because I choose to do everything in my power to make sure I don’t repeat my mistakes
✨
Things that used to really hurt me don’t bother me anymore and that’s the main reason why I keep going with the work and why I know it will never end
✨
The work has no end because there are always challenges that lie ahead there will always be problems down the road that will throw me off course and I look forward to growing through them into the person I will become in the future
✨
I love myself too much to deny myself this growth. I will not abandon myself in the depths of despair. I choose to grow through the shit and use it as fertiliser to become greater
✨
My inner world shines through me and with this light also comes darkness. You cannot have light without shadow so I embrace both
✨
Don’t weep for the old you that falls away as it dies. Rejoice for the new you as it emerges to greet the world
✨

Holding a thought is like holding a breath - you’re gonna get uncomfortable
✨
Holding your breath doesn’t really make sense and intellectually holding a thought doesnt either but the difference is we don’t usually notice when we’re holding thoughts
✨
A thought can visit us and drift away when we aren’t paying too much attention to it but when we start labelling thoughts they linger for longer
✨
There’s no such thing as positive or negative thoughts they’re just thoughts like there’s no such thing as positive or negative breaths - they’re just breaths
✨
When we treat thought as though it’s neutral it can move along but clinging to it and labelling it is what prolongs our suffering
✨
You are not your thoughts
✨

Thought isn’t yours just like air isn’t yours
✨
When we say “my thoughts” we’re taking them personally and that’s what makes them so much harder to let go of
✨
It would be pretty crazy to say “my molecules of oxygen” because they just come through us they aren’t ours to own - thought is exactly the same
✨
Placing judgment on thought by calling it negative or positive is what gives it more power over us and that’s what prevents us from doing what we really wanna be doing
✨
Imagine if you never took thoughts personally ever again - what would be possible for you?

Recently I realised I was being a dick to someone and it’s really humbled me
✨
Its heartbreaking to know that I have contributed to the loneliness of beautiful women for most of my life because I was trying to take from them without seeing what they really need or want and just putting my needs ahead of our relationship
✨
A lot of us men do this because we’re treating beautiful women differently to other people and this is a form of discrimination
✨
When we do this we’re causing the destruction of beauty because taking from women causes them to retreat and that diminishes the presence of beauty in the world and what’s the point in living in a world without beauty?♂️
✨
Remember that the masculine makes it possible but the feminine makes it worthwhile - so if you’re trying to take from women they’ll end up leaving you and then nothing you do will be worthwhile
✨
Put yourself in her shoes and see your behaviour, would you be happy with it? Would you be ok with people trying to take from you and treating you different because of the money you make or the way you look?
✨
Didn’t think so bro, so stop it

I’ve been to the top of the mountain and back down to the base again and nothing changed
✨
There’s an expression - nothing exceeds like excess - when we don’t know what we want the default quickly becomes more because more is different but doesn’t mean it’s better
✨
Just because something looks like it’s gonna enrich your life because it’s more than you have right now it doesn’t mean it’s true - it just seems that way because you don’t have it yet
✨
When we’re climbing for more the summit keeps getting further away because more never stops, its never enough and we can never reach the pinnacle of more
✨
This isn’t about being happy with what you have so shut up - this is about evaluating what you want before you decide that more is the best option✅
✨
Be patient with yourself while you’re figuring out what you want otherwise you’ll get trapped in wanting more and there’s no way out of that trap except hard truth which comes with experience
✨
You are whole and complete already and I love you
✨

When you’re avoiding what’s difficult your life gets harder
✨
My life is really simple because I do what’s hard every day. I workout my mind and body and I say what needs to be said when it needs to be said without hesitation (most of the time lol)
✨
When I find myself holding back from what I know needs to be said it’s because I’m living in the fear of what could happen as a result of doing what needs to be done
✨
This is called living in a thought prison and it causes us to miss out on the expansive experience of life that we could be having if we were to treat thought as a visitor
✨
Fleeting and temporary is the nature of thinking and life - when we let it come and go we are truly free to experience life and all the wonderment that will unfold
✨
What do you need to say that needs to be said?

Reason or season becomes clear with time
✨
Regardless of how others try to make you feel it is your duty to yourself to remove them when the relationship isn’t serving you anymore
✨
Nothing is more important than your well-being and if having someone in your life is compromising your peace of mind then it’s an indication that their season is over and it’s time to remove them✅
✨
Sometimes it’s not clear whether it’s gonna be a reason or season and this is why slowing down is super important - it helps us see truth rather than mind created fiction
✨
Truth cannot be argued with. Truth lies in actions. The truth will set you free but it will beat your ass first
✨
I love you
✨

The Parthenon is comprised of pillars that support it
✨
Similarly when we’re building our great monuments of inner growth we can rely on the pillars around us to support our growth
✨
If you’re trying to do it all alone you can go fast but if you want real long term sustainable growth it’s all about teamwork
✨
I surround myself with a team of great people who help me execute my vision as well as call me out when I’m out of integrity with myself or my mission and this is why I’m able to stay in the game
✨
A lot of people quit when things get tough and that’s when my team supports me the most. If I ever feel like quitting or I’m getting tired of the constant growing pains my team is there to catch me
✨
Build your team of people who support you by being the one who supports others first and if they don’t reciprocate then move on and support someone else
✨
Team work makes the dream work baby

Labelling a thought as positive or negative is like labelling a raindrop as positive or negative - it’s unnecessary to say the least
✨
Do you ever stand outside and swear at the rain? Do you ever grapple with raindrops and ask them why they torment you? No? Well what’s the difference between raindrops and thoughts?
✨
Thinking is helpful, it helps us throughout our lives from making decisions to working our jobs - the intention of treating thought as neutral is not to have us distrust our thinking but rather help us use it when it’s appropriate to use it✅
✨
Using a hammer to eat a bowl of cereal is an inappropriate use of the tool just like using the mind to analyse thought is an inappropriate use of the tool - when we learn to set the mind down instead of using it to analyse is when we truly free ourselves from the prison of overthinking
✨
You are perfect as you are, only thought would have you believe otherwise

You can choose to drop it
✨
It would be great if we could choose what we think about but unfortunately life doesn’t work that way and we only get to choose what we focus on✅
✨
If you’re analysing thought to try and understand why something happened or didn’t happen recognise that you’re living through who you think you are which demands answers because it needs to reconcile what the event means about you
✨
The real you doesn’t give a fuck what anything means or doesn’t mean because it is never damaged by anything that’s ever happened because it is whole and complete
✨
The only thing that takes us away from our natural state of peace is believing a lie and the lie originates with whatever random thought is running through our heads in the moment
✨
How freeing it is to see that thought doesn’t have to mean anything
✨
How would your life be different if you could choose to drop whatever you’re thinking about in the moment?

She’s right in front of you but you can’t see her because you’re looking for something that isn’t in the present moment and that’s what’s ruining your chances of having relationships that you actually experience
✨
A lot of us are in our heads and missing out on the relationship we’re in because we’re living in the fantasy of what could be rather than being grounded in what actually is here right now
✨
Love isnt hard when you’re actually paying attention

Feelings don’t have to mean anything
✨
They come and go just like breath, if we let them! But holding on to feelings and analysing them only makes them linger for longer
✨
When we dig into our feelings and try to figure out where they’re coming from all we’re doing is judging and analysing which takes us further and further from the place we want to get to - where we were before the feeling
✨
To get back to that place all we need to do is drop the thinking, drop the analysis and come back to quiet
✨
Easier said than done I know but it starts with giving yourself permission to have nothing on your mind and from there you will find peace
✨
